index notch

If you ever wondered if those indentions in old-school dictionaries have a particular name, the answer is that yes, they do. They are called an index notch.

If you ever wondered if a close-up photo of an index notch* looked like a piece of wood that had been carved out, that answer is also yes.

as wine, the strongest heads

There are two hats hanging on a hook in the garage. To be honest, I am afraid of wearing either one of them: I think there are spiders or maybe these weird almost-clear geckos in them. And who even knows what else might be in there that I would prefer not to have on my head.

But I didn’t encounter anything dangerous when I made this photo.

Salt and Spoons

The salt bowl next to the stove has a tiny olive-wood spoon that my parents brought back to me from a trip to Turkey.

French Bowls

I got these two lovely little bowls at an olive oil store in Paris. They live on an open shelf in my kitchen, so I get to see them often*. And I wish I had more of them.

Flowers, 1

I had some flowers. I had some spare time. The light was good.

You know what happened next. (Only it happened in color?)
